Well first of it's the FA Cup not a major trophy - teams don't treat it as a major trophy.
Secondly you also won it last year
In the league you went from 2nd to 5th despite spending £100mil and losing no key players
So did Arsenal go backwards this season

Aquliani looked injured at Roma and should we really not look to Italy because of one player ?
Salah has had a great season in a Roma side that pushed Juve all the way. The guy is very very quick and would provide needed strength in depth and also help Klopp play with two wide men - why would it be such a bad signing ?

Cover for Mane?? We're desperate for quality players to go straight into the starting 11 not cover for players.
Get the transfer business done so come pre season everyone is ready come the first game of season.

We didn't win it last year, and despite what you say it's still a major trophy.
Yes and some players take a while to find their feet in the premier league. Xhaka is starting to look like a very good buy now and will get even better next year.

More width "and cover for Mane" - he is capable of both Stu depending on how Klopp wants to play depending on the oppositions - there is no one starting 11 anymore
Pre season isn't for a month or so yet - the window hasn't even opened yet so maybe let's just wait until the business actually starts
If we get Salah he will be a very good player who will play regualry

Two major trophies - the league and the CL , the FA Cup doesn't add anything beyond a day out , it doesn't bring in the players , it doesn't open doors for the bigger comps - players like Sanchez aren't going to hang around because you won the FA Cup - harsh reality it's a domestic Cup.
The league is the big one followed by the CL in Europe and Arsenal went backwards in both despite a huge layout in funds - only the delusion would think any different

Tough to see the FA cup as a major trophy when you can win it with a couple of good performances and a bit of luck.
The Premier League over 38 games and the Champions League against Europe's elite are the top tier trophies.
Guess it depends on your definition of major!

Won 3 more games then last year, scored more goals, got more points, healthier goal difference. Won a cup and missed out on CL 1 point.
If that's your idea of going backwards so be it.
Sanchez will stay around if the money is right.

Funny how some seem to think liverpool bave breezed past arsenal. They took 6 points off the gunners and finished 1 point ahead.
The margins were very fine in the end. Two poor teams stumbling around in the second half of the season.
Squad wise, I'd fancy arsenal to move back ahead of Liverpool next year before either team has had any in going or out goings.
For arsenal, it obvious a lot depends on keeping sanchez.
Liverpool scraped into the top 4 with the distractions of European football and out of the cup early doors. They need more quality for the first team plus a pile of better back up players.
Going to be an interesting summer.
Arsenal fans will surely be going buck mental if there doesn't seem to be the required money pumped into transfers this summer. The same negative atmosphere can and most likely will rear it's head during the first few games of the year should arsenal start in any way sluggish. They usally play well in the early season sunshine so may be delayed till the colder months.
Spurs played the best football for me last year. If they can hold onto their players and add some more quality, I think it could be their year.
Time will tell all.

Comparing Salah to Aquilani is pretty funny. Aquilani never looked anywhere near as impressive as Salah. In a competition full of hugely impressive attacking talent, Salah was one of the stand-out attackers in the league. He's incredibly quick, has great feet and has a knack for scoring goals. He'd be an excellent signing. I'd love to have him at Everton.
More spin, you should be a politician. You've gone from 2nd to 5th and got hammered in the CL. You went backwards.

Surely if people used Leicester winning the League because other top teams faltered, we can't criticise Arsenal if this season was stronger and more competitive

Alister Campbell would be proud
Only stat that matters is the league position - you went from 2nd to 5th - that's going backwards simple as that

Why settle at 2? You could go big next year and win the FA Cup, Carling cup and Community Shield. 3 major trophies. 👍

In the league yes it's going backwards - winning the Europa balanced it out because it allowed entry into CL

Promoting a player from within, how unfashionable
I'm afraid you can't have Kane. I don't want your mob having someone who scores that often. Keep Zlatan, he scores enough to keep getting picked but blocks the momentum of the team. Works very nicely for the rest of us :thup:
Hey, please allow me to dare to dream.
I'm 99.99% sure we won't get him ............................. but I was also 99.99% sure we'd lost De Gea a couple of years ago.
Slime, every player has a price. Spurs fans know that only too well. It is just a matter of how high are you prepared to go. Getting £60m for De Gea would be a good addition to your funds that would help that dream, particularly if you have a ready made replacement keeper. Anyway, the current paper talk has you going for Rom. £75m please :whoo:
